5 days

I can't believe how much I've been sleeping lately, but I think it's my body catching up for years of abuse. Not being fueled by last nights alcohol is a new concept for my body. It's great not being in survival mode at work--as in what can I do to stay awake and get through the day and back to the bar. Now I can actually concentrate on the tasks at hand, and proactively get things handled rather than just reacting. That's actually something that I'll have to get used to. But that's a good problem to have.

I know it's early on, and I'll face some challenges (I'm going to pound that into my head, just my way of saying one day at a time) but every hour that goes by I realize how much I don't need alcohol. I don't need alcohol to have a good time, I don't need alcohol to enjoy music, I don't need alcohol to be comfortable around people. I'm me, this is me sober, you don't like it, so what.

Alright, well the day is already slipping on by--so back to work.

Thanks everyone.
